Evaluation
Mooch launched on September 7, 2015 as a complete, self-contained arcade adventure game. Following launch, the developer (Crank Goblin) issued several patches to address bugs and balance issues, culminating in a notable feature update on December 21, 2016 (version 1.1.0) that added checkpoints, summary screens, and control presets, followed by two small follow-up patches on December 22, 2016 and January 10, 2017. The January 10, 2017 patch (version 1.1.2) is the last recorded developer communication. No DLC was ever announced or listed. No roadmap, season pass, or future content was ever communicated. The store description presents the game as a complete package with a defined set of worlds, enemies, bosses, and multiple endings. Development activity has been silent since January 10, 2017, consistent with a game that shipped as a finished product and received a post-launch polish pass before the developer moved on.

About this game
The story begins in the underground world ruled by the Puppet Master. The evil lord creates puppets, enslaves them and forces them to work in his mines. They do not realize that beyond the narrow corridors of their mines, there is a much bigger and more colorful world. One of the slaves named Blink, accidentally discovers that outside the mines is a place full of light, fresh air and freedom - an outside world. He decides to take matters into his own hands and escape from the mines with his friend Tula. Unfortunately, they were captured by the machine, and Tula was torn apart. Pieces of her soul have scattered through the underground world. Blink has been thrown into the prison where he awaits his doom. This is not the end of the story, it is just the beginning, which will lead to many unusual events.
